Thanks for all the ideas on searching the Master Source. I start each source
with the word Source, i.e., Source 1, Source 2, etc. so that if I want to go

type and a number - eg: Birth001, Ship(ping List)001, Obituary001 etc

I have followed the same basic procedure Bob has discussed below. One
helpful addition I have made is to start all the place name sources with
an @ symbol so that they do not co-mingle with surnames. I also use a
dot (.) in front of the IGI, SSDI, etc type entries to ensure that they

I use only two types of names for a Source List Name - either a place
name or a surname. Like Dave, my place names start with a state/province,
then county, then city, then type of record - or surname, then given name,
then type of record. I try to duplicate the order and headings of the LDS
